ANALYZING THE BAKING POWDERS
Royal" Only, Found Free from Lime,
Alum and Phosphate Acid, and
Absolutely Pure.

Under the direction of the New York State
Board of Health, %eighty-four different kinds OF
baking powders, embracing all the brands that
could be found in the State, were submitted to
examination and analysis by Prof. c. F CHAN
DLER, a member of the State Board and Presi-
dent of the New York City Board of Health,
assisted bv Prof. EDWARD G.. LOVE, the we'll
known United States Government chemist.
The official report shows thata large number
Of the powders examined were found to con-
tain alum or lime; many of them to such an
extent az to render them seriously obJectlona-
BILE for use in the preparation of human food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine samples
This drug is employed in baking powders TO
cheaper their cost. The presence OF lime is at
tributed to the impure cream of tartar OF COM
merce 1sed in their manufacture Such cream
of tartar was also analysed and found to contain
lime and other impurities, in some samples to
the extent of 90 per cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market, with
the single exception of "Royal," mot iuclud-
ing the alum and phosphate powder, which
were long since discarded as unsafe or inettl-
cient by prudent housekeepers), are made from
tho impure cream of tartar of commerce, and
consequently contain lime to a corresponding
extent.
The only bakingpowd yet found by chem
zeal analysis to he entirely free from lime and
absolutely pure is the Royal" This perfect
purity results from the exclusive use of cream
of tartar specially refined and prepared by pat
ent processes, which totally remove the ~tartrate
of lime and other impurities. The cost of this
chemically pure cream of tartar is much great
er than any other, and it is used in no baking
powder but the "Royal."
Prof. LOVE, who made the analyses of baking
powders for the New York State Board of
Health, as we'll as for the Government, says of
the purity and wholesomeness of "Royal':
81 have tested a package of Royal Baking
Powder which I purchased in the open mar
ket, and find it composed of pure and whole
some ingredients. 1t is a cream of tartar pow
der of a high degree of merit, and does not CON
tain either alum or p%hosphates or any injurious
substances. T.. u. LOVE, FL. D.

GEORGE C. JORDAN, General Agent.
carried in this country makes it of National
importance that heads Of families should be
able to secure it as cheaplya as possible consls-
tent with safety. Especially is this necessary
for the millions of men in moderate clrcunl,
stances, who must earn their living by hard
knocks and in the face of a competition that Is
becoming keener and sharper every day.
If life Insurance is not safe it is not worth
carrying, and if it is too costly, the men VINO
most need it cannot carry it all. How to make
it both safe and cheap is the problem Of the
day, and he who solves it will have done a
great and patriotic service for his fellow men.
The Old Line Companies are certainly safe
when honestly managed, but their rates are
such an amount as would provide for a family,
while the great mass of men, and those, too,
whose families most need protection, are COM
PEELED to 60 without insurance, or seek 1t III
the assessment companies or secret orders.
The fact that these cheaper institutions are TO,
day furnishing more insurance than all the Old
Line companies combined, shows how eager
are the mass Of citizens for insurance that Is
within reach of their means. While these
orders and corporations are furnishing insur-
ance cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only
be looked upon as temporary expedlents ana
not altogether satisfactory. But it is plain,
that somewhere between the old line and as
sessment plans there must be a middle ground,

parties.
THE INVERTEBRATES LIFE ASSOCIA-
TION Of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly
and honestly to find this middle ground. In
this search they have, at large expense, con-
suited and employed the foremost a%ctuaries
and insurance experts in this country, and up
on their recommendation have adopted a line
of rates which is entirely safe. and yet, is in
the reach Of every thrifty and industrious man
who desires to protect his family against his
death.
To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line
companies an ample reserve, and then a rea-
sonabLe amount for expenses and profits, but
SO limited as to compel economical manage
ment. So plain and fair and popular are its
methods that over three millions of business
was done in the first eight months work. Its
rates are fixed, and must be paid, deaths or no
deaths, but are divided into two, four, or six
payments Il year, as may best suit the con-
v%enience of the applicant.

AN ANCIENT TRADE.

The practice of stretching the tanned
skin on a wooden frame, as is he custom
of European saddlers, and the semicircular
knife in vogue with the curriers' OF the
peresent day, are both distinctly represent
ed at Thebes.
1t is a singular circumstance that the
Chinese have no acquaintance with the
process of tanning by vegetable juices, but
use only mineral and animal %subtances
hence the inferiority of their prepared
skins.
In addition to sandals the Egyptian cur
riers made the coverings of seats OF sofas,
bow-cases, q~uivers, the furniture Of wal
chariots, and the decoration of harps, and
shields. Stamped and beautifully emboss-
ed leather straps have been frequently
found fastened round the mummies.
Many pieces of skin and leather from
the Egyptian tombs still exist in a state OF
perfect preservation which passed through
the hands of the tanner more than thirty
centuries ago, and which, but for the In
vention of this process, must have perish
ed in a few hours after they had lett the
carcass from which they were stripped,
The myriads of victims slain in the
Jewish sacrifices must have afforded the
skin market a copious supply. The scar
city of glass, pottery and earthen-Ware
would, however, cause a constant demand
for leather bottles and drinking-vessels,
and these, by reason of climate, defective
manufacture and by exposure to the Ter
mentation, were very perlshable-perhaps
even more so than the brittle vessels OF
glass and clay.
The shoe-makers are one of the very
lowest castles in India. Leather is consid-
cred unclean by the Hindoos, and conse.
quently those who work in it are detleq.
! 1t is alleged of Jffe shoe-makers that they
eat the flesh of domestic animals that die
a natural death: They drag or carry away
the carcass to their own part of the town
or village, cut it up in pieces, and distrib-
| ute it amo-g themselves iii sufficient por.
lions, and clean the hide and put it away
| for sale or to be manufactured into some
thing.
Only one tanner is mentioned in the
| Bible-the Simon, who Was in all proDa'
| bility, a member of the church at Joppa,
in whose house Peter found a temporary
home when the messengers of Cornelius
were informed: "He lodgeth with one
| Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea-
| side" There are numerous wells OF wa
ter in close proximity to the town of Jop'
pa. This would renderit a suitable local..
ty for a tannery, and the adjacent por'
would facilitate the shipment of a cargo in
great request not only throughout all the
| Mediterranean coasts but far up the Mic
and among the semi-civilized jewellers OF
| Northern Europe. Several tanneries Of
great antiquity still exist. near the shore
one Of which is said by tradition to have
been that OfSimOn the tanner.

COULDN'T HEAR IT THUNDER.

An interesting letter from Mr.. John w.
Weeks, superintendent Of Dekalb Pauper
Home:
From a feeling of gratitude and a desire to
benefit others, I voluntarily make this state
ment. I have great reason to be thankful that
I ever heard of B. B. B., as I know what q
blessing it has been to me. I have suffered
with Bronchial Catarrh for a lumber of years.
Six months ago I was taken with severe pain
in right ear, which in a few days began to dis
charge matter, with terrible and almost un-
bearable palpitation and all sorts of noises in
my head. In ten days after the commencement
of discharge and pain in my ear l began to grow
deaf and in six weeks I was so deaf l could
not hear it thunder.
I was then compelled to use a conversation
tube, and it was often that I could not hear
with the tube. I then commenced taking B..
B. B. and the running of my ear ceased run
ming in five weeks, and l can now hear without
the tube. My general health has improved,
palpitation ceased, and feel like new being, and
appreciate the benefit I have received from b.
B. B.. (made in Atlanta, Ca with gratitude to
God and thankfulness to the Proprietors for
such a medicine. I cheerfully recommend it
to all who are afflicted with deafness and catarrh,

RILL NYE,S WATERBURY.

But that has nothing to do with what
was speaking of. In a thoughtless mo:
| ment I decided to open my Waterbury
watch and see whatmade it tick so loudly
I did so.
When I opened the rich and highly chas'
ed case, I began to see strange, fantastic
| forms flash before my eyes. In a short
time my lap was full of little wheels and
small fragments of the future which this
watch had concealed about its person.
1 accumulated a bureau drawer full o.
| %hy-Wheels, hair triggers, cams eccentrlcs,
| d%olflickers, bull wheels clogged with for
gotten moments, ratchets with a thin fall
| setto voice, small brass wheels with axle
grease on their circumference, brassy
| Smelling axle trees, little yellow screws,
large steel screws with dark blue heads,
and other things that I do not know the
| names of.
Then there was a low, asthmatic sound
in among the intestines of this time piece
and a big, blue, backward spring sprang
forth, hit me between the eyes, danced
back on its hir d feet, jumped up and
punched a hole in the ceiling, tried to spit
on his hands, smote its heels together and
darted up my trousers leg, meantime snari-
ing at me in that cultural, mean, quarrel
some way thata Waterbury watch knows
so we'll how to assume.
l arose to 60 out into the hall, but three
bushels more of the spring boiled out OF
that yelping, muttering turnip, and Gid
ing to the door shut it in my face.
The front end of the spring had now
emerged through my shirt collar and be-
gan to bore holes in my head. Icalled tor
help, but nothing save the low and desc
late murmur and rumble of the watch an
Fswered me. 49,.
In a short time the room was full of this
spring. 1 was on the bed doing the Lao
coon act, in my poor, weak way, and eve
rywhere 1 couldsee the evidence of spring.
Finally the landlady came to see if l
had them again. She opened the doorjustt
as the watch seemed to slip a new cog and
betray some more Of its inWardness. 1t
shot some more of that blue steel out into
the hall, caught the landlady by her back
hair and hurled her down stairs:
When the police got there n got a line
repaired to come and unwind me, that Wa
terbury watch had entire possession of the
first and second floor of the house and was
on it's way down cellar.
And yet we meet men almost every day
who claim that the Waterbury watch is a
model of simplicity.-BW Nye IN Je'cehy

TIME Cyclone Spark Extinguisher puton my
engine a few months ago is giving entire
satisfaction. Before it was put on, my GIN
house several times caught fire from sparks, so
I had to quit running while the wind was blow
ing in the direction of the Clubhouse. Now /
can gin and saw with perfect safety, no matter
which way the wind blows. Haven'tseen a live
spark from the engine since I have been usingit it.
And another good thing about it is. it can't wear
or burn out. Will last as long as the engine. 1
think it q great invention, and wouldn't take
double the cost of mine if it was so I couldn't
get another one. I think you ought to reduce
the present high rate reinsurance on gin-houses
where these e~xtinguishers are used on the en-
gines, or, at least, recommend such to the com
panies you represent, because l see no risk
whatever from the engine.
